I spent many years of my life as a poultratarian–you know, someone who forsakes all other meats in favor of poultry. During that phase, I was strictly limited when it came dinner time. One of my go-to’s was white chicken chili. Since then, I’ve graduated ever so slightly to including limited non-poultry meats into my… Continue reading CROCK-POT WHITE CHICKEN CHILI

CROCK-POT CHICKEN FLORENTINE SOUP

I recently stopped purchasing canned foods. And–not to be bossy–but I think you should too. Why? Because most canned foods, as well as those packaged in various plastics, show traces of BPA. What’s BPA, you ask? It’s a chemical that has been restricted in Canada and some US states because it has been linked to… Continue reading Slow cooker refried beans
